More than two months later.
In a secret room in the Chen family.
This secret room is not big, and the top is inlaid with seven snow-white crystal stones the size of a human head. The crystal stones are arranged according to the seven stars, and they shed bright white light, illuminating the secret room clearly.
There is a square platform about ten feet high on the ground of the secret room, with a black stone pillar standing on each of the four corners.
This stone pillar has a simple shape and is carved with complex spiritual patterns. It looks obscure and difficult to understand, but you can tell at a glance that it is a more mysterious formation.
Ji Liao sat cross-legged in the center of the stone platform, his eyes slightly closed and his chest rising and falling slightly.
After taking over as the ancestor of the Chen family, it didn't take long for Ji Liao to go into seclusion at the place where his predecessor practiced. He stayed here for more than two months.
The time for Qianhuan Sect to convene these sects is getting closer and closer. Ji Liao knows that when Qianhuan Sect arrives, there will be people who will attack him and compete for the territory vacated by the Shi family.
He promised the Chen family to be their guest ancestor. Of course, everything must be done in the interests of the Chen family, so Ji Liao decided to fight for the Chen family.
He once sent a letter to the Wei family, stating that he was willing to join forces with the Wei family to fight against external forces. If the Shi family's territory could be saved, then the Chen family would be willing to share the Shi family's territory equally with the Wei family.
However, the letter has been sent for more than a month, and the Wei family has never replied.
Ji Liao immediately understood that the Wei family did not want to get involved and wanted to reap the benefits.
But since the Wei family doesn't want to participate, Ji Liao won't force it. It depends on people. If he really can't stop it, then he can only let other families in.
At this moment, Ji Liao did not think about the new talisman, but began to practice and try his best to improve his cultivation.
Fortunately, with the accumulation of time and more than a month of hard training, Ji Liao has reached the edge of breakthrough, as if he has already half-stepped into the late stage of foundation building. He is only half a step away from breaking through and completely entering the late stage of foundation building. realm.
Ji Liao suddenly moved his hand and patted the storage bag.
I saw four rays of light flying out and hanging in front of Ji Liao. They were four high-grade spiritual stones.
Ji Liao reached out and held four spiritual stones in his hand.
With a flick of his finger, a high-grade spiritual stone flew out, hitting a stone pillar at the corner of the stone platform with incomparable accuracy, and was firmly embedded into the groove at the top of the stone pillar.
After the spirit stone entered the stone pillar, a ball of white light immediately rose up, and the faint spiritual energy spread out from it. It quickly traveled downward along the lines on the stone pillar, and spread throughout the entire stone pillar in just a few breaths.
The stone pillar trembled suddenly, and then the whole body lit up, buzzing and shaking slightly, and making a trembling sound.
Ji Liao glanced at the stone pillar, then immediately turned to the other stone pillar and did the same thing.
Not long after, the last stone pillar also lit up after a buzzing sound.
The next moment, the four stone pillars vibrated simultaneously at the same frequency, causing the entire high platform to tremble violently. A strange formation followed.
to open.
Not long after, the shaking on the high platform gradually subsided, and the four stone pillars changed again.
However, he saw streams of spiritual energy suddenly spurting out from the tops of the four stone pillars. The goddesses were scattering flowers all over the sky, moving freely in the secret room, filling the entire secret room in just a few breaths of time.
Ji Liao retracted his hand movements, narrowed his eyes slightly, adjusted his spiritual power, and the two techniques in his body were running at the same time.
His body surface shimmered with light, every pore opened, and in an instant, a suction force spread throughout his body.
The spiritual energy filled in the secret room, pulled by this suction force, swarmed towards Ji Liao, and penetrated into Ji Liao's body along all parts of his body.
The two colors of spiritual energy in Ji Liao's meridians traveled rapidly, and whenever there was spiritual energy coming in, it was instantly refined by it, and then it followed the operation of the technique and converged towards his spiritual sea.
This stone platform is a strange formation. The previous ancestor of the Chen family paid a lot of money to have it erected.
Its function is to use the formation to draw out the inner spiritual power based on the spiritual stone vein in Binggou Valley, and continuously gather it here, making the spiritual power here endless and inexhaustible.
At this time, the spiritual energy in the entire stone room was extremely rich, and the Yuxu Peak of the Purple Air Sect was no more than that, or even slightly inferior.
Ji Liao quickly ran the exercises in his body, refining the spiritual energy bit by bit.
The spiritual liquid in Ji Liao's spiritual sea was absorbed by his meridians, but it was immediately replenished with refined spiritual energy, forming a delicate balance in his body.
The meridians in his spiritual sea became more and more translucent with the operation of the technique, and they were growing slowly bit by bit.
As time went by, more and more meridians grew in Ji Liao Linghai, becoming as densely packed as old vines hanging on the cliff.
I don't know how long it took, but Ji Liao, who had not moved for a long time, suddenly moved.
The flame spirit pattern between his eyebrows suddenly lit up, and in the next moment, Taotie and Qilin jumped out.
After the two little things jumped out, they looked at each other. Taotie grinned, stepped on his limbs, raised his little head high, opened his mouth, and a small vortex suddenly formed.
Qilin also moved accordingly, opened its mouth, and a small ball of five-color flames spurted out of its mouth, and was briefly involved in the vortex in Taotie's mouth.
The vortex in Taotie's mouth immediately turned into a five-color vortex. His little eyes narrowed, and the speed of the vortex's rotation immediately accelerated a few minutes.
In an instant, a strong wind rose from the ground in the secret room.
The erratic spiritual energy in the sky rolled up and swirled wildly in the secret room. The next moment, the spiritual energy in the sky gathered in a ball above Ji Liao's head, then extended downwards, turned into a spiritual energy tornado, and poured into Taotie's mouth.
The moment the spiritual energy gathered, Ji Liao's brows immediately wrinkled.
Just now, Ji Liao felt that he was on the verge of a breakthrough. He knew that if he wanted to break through the shackles of the mid-stage and late-stage foundation establishment, he would need huge spiritual energy as support to break through this shackles.
Ji Liao did not hesitate to order the Taotie Qilin to jump out from between his eyebrows and assist him in swallowing the spiritual energy.
With the assistance of these two little things, Ji Liao's speed of devouring spiritual energy doubled. With so much spiritual energy pouring in at once, his meridians were immediately bulging, and the fleshy walls of his meridians were stretched. It actually became a bit thinner.
Ji Liao immediately felt a sharp pain throughout his body, but after his bones had been broken countless times, this pain was nothing.
Spiritual energy crazily poured into the spiritual sea.
The speed at which the meridians in the spiritual sea absorb spiritual liquid also speeds up.
At this moment, Ji Liao was running the two techniques with all his strength. For a moment, his meridians were extremely crystal clear and lit up with a faint brilliance.
The spiritual energy in the meridians shuttles rapidly through them, running rapidly in two different directions.
The meridians in his spiritual sea increased visibly to the naked eye at this moment, and they grew by more than an inch in just one stick of incense.
At the same time, the aura released by Ji Liao was also rising little by little.
His spiritual sea was originally much larger than that of ordinary people. At this time, his cultivation had reached the edge of the late stage of foundation building, and the aura he released was infinitely close to the realm of the golden elixir stage.
The four stone pillars continued to spray out spiritual energy, but under the pull of suction, they were sucked in by the spiritual energy tornado as soon as they appeared, and were swallowed into Ji Liao's body.
The light on Ji Liao's body is getting brighter and brighter, and the aura on his body is getting bigger and bigger. With this majestic aura alone, no one will think that Ji Liao is breaking through to the late stage of foundation building. They will definitely think that Ji Liao is trying. Break through the golden elixir stage.
The light in Ji Liao's eyes flickered, and streaks of colored rays of light flowed out from the gaps in his eyes. At this moment, he was operating the skills in his body to the extreme, and the vortex in Taotie's mouth became faster and faster.
The howling wind turned into substantial gusts of wind that swept through the secret room wantonly.
It lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and the spiritual energy Ji Liao swallowed had reached a terrifying level.
Suddenly, the strong wind in the secret room stopped, and the spiritual energy tornado also stopped.
For a moment, the air became quiet.
The next moment, Ji Liao suddenly opened his eyes.
"drink!"
He raised his head and shouted loudly.
With a sound, the blue light on his body suddenly surged, and the aura emanating from his body increased infinitely.
Circles of fluctuations spread out on his body and spread toward the secret room, causing the entire secret room to tremble.
The next moment, the blue light on his body became a little brighter. When the light reached a critical point, the light stagnated.
After a moment, these rays of light seemed to be pulled back, and all of them were reflected back, and were taken back into Ji Liao's body.
Looking at Ji Liao's aura at this time, he has firmly stayed in the late stage of foundation building.
Ji Liao's chest rose and fell violently. He pinched a spell in his hand and the martial arts in his body immediately stopped running. The Qilin Taotie between his eyebrows jumped back to his eyebrows again.
"call..."
Ji Liao let out a sigh of relief, and then a happy look appeared on his face.
Feeling the aura emanating from him, Ji Liao raised his hand and glanced twice, and laughed.
"Finally the late stage of foundation building."
Ji Liao closed his eyes and sensed the changes in his body.
His spiritual consciousness went deep into the spiritual sea and looked at the situation inside, only to see that his spiritual sea was almost filled with meridians, and the spiritual liquid in it was extremely full.
Because Ji Liao Linghai opened up a larger area than ordinary people, the benefits obtained when breaking through are far greater than ordinary people.
At this moment, Ji Liao felt that the spiritual power in his body was extremely powerful, dozens of times stronger than his own in the middle stage of foundation building.
Ji Liao slapped the storage bag, and two pills flew out immediately.
He grabbed it with his probing hand and put it into his mouth. His throat moved and he swallowed it into his belly.
Ji Liao pinched it in his hand, secretly used his spiritual power to refine the pill and swallowed it.
Those were two pills that strengthened the realm. He had taken them from the Chen family before retreating to seclusion. Since he was the ancestor of the Chen family, it was certainly nothing to take such things.
Now that he has just made a breakthrough, his realm has never been stable. He must carefully nurse himself back to health for a period of time before he can think about anything else until his realm is stable.
Several days passed after this sitting.
Ji Liao was meditating quietly inside, but people outside the Chen family were getting anxious.
Chen Wanhe walked towards the stone room.
Chen Xue'e, who was guarding the door of the stone chamber, saw Chen Wanhe coming and immediately took two steps to greet him.
"I've met the clan leader!" Chen Xue'e bowed slightly.
Chen Wanhe nodded, "Has the ancestor not come out of seclusion yet?"
When Chen Xue'e heard this, she glanced at the closed door of the stone chamber and shook her head slightly, "Not yet!"
"Can you inform the ancestor?" Chen Wanhe said.
Chen Xue'e smiled faintly and said, "The slave family doesn't dare."
Chen Wanhe hesitated when he heard the words, and then he smiled bitterly and sighed, "The day has come to go to Qianhuan Sect, but the ancestor doesn't know how long he will be in seclusion. What should I do?"
